Jidai Project

An upcycling project launched in collaboration with Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture

This series began with the idea of giving new life to hoses that had exceeded their useful life and were scheduled to be discarded by the Sakai City Fire Department.

Fire hose x genuine leather

The fire hose has exceeded its useful life, but it still looks beautiful.

The hose is approximately 2mm thick, with a rubber interior and a heat-resistant exterior.

Although it does not comply with regulations, we believe it still has sufficient value as a material.

We realized that the durable nature of fire hoses means they can effectively protect the contents inside, and we came up with the idea that they would be ideal for bags.

By using genuine leather as a combination material, the value of the bag increases in terms of appearance and feel.
Another key point is that this leather is washable, making it resistant to water.

- Easy to use with a size that takes advantage of the width of the hose.

And the most important point is,
-Stylish without interfering with your fashion.

We have created an item that meets all of these criteria.

ID holder/pass case made from fire hose

The coloring of the hose is used on both sides of the case, and the accessories are made of sustainable leather.

The unique material is combined with the sturdy construction and ease of use of a card case. The neck strap has a hook and eye closure, and can be replaced with a safety pin. It is large enough to hold various credit card sizes.

Original A rivet engraved with jidai has been attached.
